If the "deal" with Russia comes to fruition, it will further erode what little power Congress retains within America's democratic system. If a president is not bound by the laws Congress has passed, then the legislature might as well not exist at all.

Trump's plan to buy Russian diesel would violate federal law
If laws passed by Congress do not apply to presidential actions, then we no longer live in a democracy.

I'm convinced Newsom isn't running for President at all. Sure, he might have a committee and use it as a slush fund, but he's running to be appointed to corporate boards and fake think tanks and stuff. Just too many examples of him going out of his way to show he's not aligned with the Dem base.

“Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention [to] his 500 days of corruption… But this is why Trump is not fixing America’s problems: he’s too busy rigging the rules for himself. Once corruption becomes normal, it becomes permanent. We cannot let that happen.” @chrismurphyct.bsky.social
